Look at this studio filled with fabulous bonus prizes including:
A pair of original Picasso etchings!
A pair of $37,000 earclips!
A $47,000 Mercedes 300E!
Plus thousands of dollars in cash!
Over $206,000 just waiting to be won on...
Wheel of Fortune!
Today's contestants:
Shel Isaac: Sells real estate, from Modesto, CA
Lynne Caiaphas: Mother of two (and married to a NYC mounted policeman), from Middle Village, NY
Lisa Lui (?): Student at USC majoring in music and minoring in business, from Honolulu, HI
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $1,000. We are playing for cash, and here's our first puzzle:
Lynne solves PEKINGESE DOG.
Lynne solves AMERICAN BEAUTY AND PETE ROSE.
Wouldn't it be better if you locked onto the $3,500 space instead, especially with an even bigger puzzle?
Shel starts with IF YOU HAVE YOUR WAY, but corrects to IF YOU HAVE YOUR HEALTH YOU HAVE EVERYTHING.
Unfortunately, we don't have the time. Pat will give the Wheel a Final Spin, and consonants are worth... $200 a piece. Shel begins!
Shel: T (x5) ($1,000)
Lynne: R (DUD!)
Lisa: S (x3) ($600)
Shel is about to spin but catches himself.
Shel: L ($1,200)
Lynne: C (x2) ($400)
Lynne solves SCHOLASTIC APTITUDE TEST.
BONUS ROUND:
RSTLNE gives him:
AMHP could be helpful.
